GOD HAS GOT THE DAY

MY GRANDPA DROVE AN OLD FORD TRUCK
SMELLED LIKE GRAIN, SWEAT AND MUD
HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND WHEN I WAS FOUR
STANDING ON HIS TOES HE’D DANCE ME ROUND THE FLOOR
I WISH THAT I COULD TELL HIM WHAT HE MEANT TO ME

BUT IT’S ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST
GOD’S IN CONTROL, NOT ONE OF US
SEE THE LINES ON MY FACE I’VE LEARNED THE HARD WAY
GOD HAS GOT THE DAY
GOD HAS GOT THE DAY

SHE WAS SIX MONTHS OLD, TEETHING HARD
SCREAMING IN MY EAR AS I PACED THE YARD
CAN STILL FEEL THAT SOFT HEAD TUCKED UNDER MY CHIN
LORD, I THOUGHT THAT DAY WOULD NEVER END
I WISH THAT I COULD HOLD AND FEEL THAT BABY’S SKIN

BUT IT’S ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST
GOD’S IN CONTROL, NOT ONE OF US
SEE THE LINES ON MY FACE I’VE LEARNED THE HARD WAY
GOD HAS GOT THE DAY
GOD HAS GOT THE DAY

HELD MAMA’S HAND THE DAY SHE PASSED
LISTENED TO MACHINES AS HER HEART BEAT GOT FAST
PRAYED TO GOD TO TAKE HER COULDN’T STAND HER IN PAIN
WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE TO FEEL THE WARMTH OF HER HAND
I WISH I’D BEEN STRONGER, HELD ON A LITTLE LONGER

BUT IT’S ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST
GOD’S IN CONTROL, NOT ONE OF US
SEE THE LINES ON MY FACE I’VE LEARNED THE HARD WAY
GOD HAS GOT THE DAY
GOD HAS GOT THE DAY
